o Data access and pipeline issues
o Model degradation or unexpected agent behavior
Ā· Ensure stable, predictable, and auditable operation of AI agents in regulated clinical and analytics contexts.
2. Agent Behavior Analysis & Root Cause Investigation
Ā· Analyze agent execution logs, prompts, tool calls, and system telemetry to:
o Identify failure patterns
o Perform root cause analysis (RCA) across agent, application, and infrastructure layers
o Distinguish between model issues, orchestration logic issues, data issues, and userāinput driven failures
Ā· Work closely with AI engineers and architects to feed operational insights back into:
o Prompt improvements
o Agent policy and guardrail refinement
o Workflow and orchestration enhancements
3. HumanāinātheāLoop & User Enablement
Ā· Act as a humanāinātheāloop escalation layer, ensuring that:
o Agent outputs are understandable and explainable to users
o Users receive clear guidance when agent confidence thresholds or guardrails are triggered.
o Provide handsāon guidance and troubleshooting to help users make effective use of Agentic AI products, including interpretation of agent decisions and outputs.
4. Knowledge Base & Operational Readiness
Ā· Develop and maintain a living knowledge base covering:
o Agent behavior FAQs
o Common failure modes and resolutions
o Known limitations, guardrails, and safeāusage patterns
Ā· Keep documentation continuously updated to reflect:
o New agent capabilities
o Model upgrades
o Workflow changes and feature releases
5. Continuous Improvement & AI Health Monitoring
Ā· Track and publish operational KPIs and AI health indicators, including:
o Agent success/failure rates
o Latency and throughput
o Userāreported issues vs. Systemādetected issues
Ā· Proactively identify opportunities to:
o Reduce operational toil
o Improve agent reliability
o Increase user trust and adoption
6. CrossāTeam Collaboration
Ā· Collaborate closely with:
o Product Managers and Product Owners
o Engineering teams
o Data platform and upstream/ downstream application teams
Ā· Participate in regular product and engineering syncs to ensure operational feedback loops are embedded into the Agentic AI Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Essential Experience
Ā· Experience across analytics, technology, or consulting, with exposure to production of AI or complex data systems.
Ā· Handsāon experience supporting complex, distributed production systems, preferably involving:
o AI/ML components
o Workflow orchestration
o Dataāintensive applications
Ā· Experience working with global, crossāfunctional teams in fastāpaced, serviceāoriented environments
Technical & Professional Requirements
Ā· Bachelorās degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field
Ā· 4ā7 years of experience supporting complex production systems.
Ā· Strong proficiency in:
o Python (for debugging, scripting, and analysis)
o SQL (for data investigation and validation)
Ā· Familiarity or strong interest in:
o Agentic AI concepts (agents, tools, orchestration, guardrails)
o Logs, telemetry, and observability in AI systems
o Agentic libraries such as LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith
Ā· Exposure to bigādata or distributed technologies (e.g., Hive, Kafka, HDFS, Impala) is a plus
Ā· Basic understanding or willingness to learn Machine Learning fundamentals, particularly as they relate to production behavior and limitations
Key Behavioral Attributes
Ā· Strong analytical mindset with the ability to reason about AI system behavior endātoāend
Ā· Clear and confident communicator, able to explain complex agent behaviors to nonātechnical users
Ā· Proactive, selfāmotivated, and continuously curious about emerging AI technologies
Ā· Comfortable operating at the intersection of users, AI systems, and engineering teams
